“Swift Demise” the new single from Finnish metal band Mourning Wood draws a picture of hope for a painless end, overshadowed by poor choices and simmering despair, but without forgetting the silver lining of an inevitably fading life. A surprisingly danceable beat gives wings to this fast-paced, retro-inspired, aesthetically pleasing late-summer rampage from start to finish.

The debut full length album “Murder Of Crows” will be released in the fall of 2025. The album continues with the themes of the debut EP “Fill Your Grave” (2023) but also takes them to a whole new level.
2021 founded Mourning Wood draws heavily on both Nordic melancholy and its influencers like Sentenced, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol and Gary Moore. The band that spreads the joy of sorrow consists of trained musicians with a long history of playing together. That can be heard from the tight musicianship at gigs.
The band also played Sentenced tribute tour around Finland promoting the Sentenced guitar player Miika Tenkula‘s biography (Melankolian Mestari – Miika Tenkula) (LIKE, 2024) written by Nefertiti Malaty. The tour consists three bands paying a tribute to memory of Miika Tenkula and Sentenced.
